I may not own a kingdom, or even a castle if truth be told. Oh but there is joy whenever I cross that simple threshold. I am not a royal, or high-ranking, and certainly not a king. Although here with the kids and my wife I truly want for nothing. And though we love to get out in nature to explore and to roam. There's no place I'd rather be than at this place I call home.

The Property (Ours and Flowers)
We are so busy in our lives. There's time, but too rare is it that time, we make. Mostly, it is the allowances that we welcome, our time it does take. So, slow down, take ten minutes or so, and go where this takes you. It's safe I assure you, and visit as often as you would like to. Continue Reading...
Last Trip to Canada
I was going through some documents I had on my Google Drive and I came across one that I had put together last June. I did this in planning a trip to New Brunswick, Canada to take my Mom, and Dad, up to her hometown, where she grew up. But the visual planning was done more for my Dad so he would know what to expect, and feel comfortable knowing that we were making several stops so he could Continue Reading...
Morning at Home
School vacation week is done. Now, it's back to our mornings together at home. Today we thought of Grampy and shared a hug so we could lift each other up. I love these two, and we really miss Grampy. #twoweeksagotoday Continue Reading...

Sometimes I think this pace approaches madness. Early Continue Reading...

The Twins Turn 3 (take two)
Some folks had difficulty accessing the pictures on the Sky Drive so I have re-posted in this format. Hopefully this works better. Thanks for your patience. We hadn't really celebrated with birthday parties for the twins in either of their first two years so we decided (last-minute) to celebrate this year. It was a two-day celebration and the twins were quite excited to see family, AND LOTS OF Continue Reading...
